Guestbook comments from the owner

4/7/2012 - "Without stating the obvious it is difficult to know what to write - to my eye the view down the Kyle is one of the best in Scotland; so fortunate then that Shore Cottage has been situated where it is and appointed to such a high standard."

9/6/12 - "Really beautiful cottage, everything we needed and more. Really comfy beds and the softest pillows. The quality of furnishings is excellent. The cottage is a credit to the owners."

Luxury cosy cottage in a stunning location

We stayed at Shore Cottage for four days over Christmas, with my parents. The weather was wild, but that didn't matter in the slightest - the view was constantly stunning, the cottage is fantastically well appointed and equipped and lovely and warm and comfortable. We saw otters less than 50 metres from the window. It was a perfect place to spend our Christmas - and my parents have already re-booked for the spring!
